Whatcha guy's think? My first attempt at a tiger.

Looks real to me, Jarrod.

Thanks guy's I need to get more detail in this, it would be great way to do t-shirts though.

Looks great....and no stencil? Wow!

I can't help but to wonder why you're not using a stencil.

Hey Jarrod, why aren't you using a stencil?

Home Depot must be getting rich selling you mailboxes!!! Looks good Mr. Jarrod!!

I wanted to see if I could even make it look like a tiger. So if I can do it without a stencil than a stencil will be easier. Testing my skills.

hey jarrod are you going to do tims engine cover?

Jarrod/John is using a stencil how you normally draw faces or is it up to the individual artist?
Stencil or no stencil your work looks good to me,but what do I know?

It's up o the individual as to what he prefers.

I was taught using stencils, so that's what I'm the most comfortable with. I like that it lets me get the design exactly how I want it before hand and the lines are crisper. Sometimes it looks better that way, and other times it may not. Like Jarrod said, it depends on the artist - and then for those guys who are comfortable with both - it may also depend on the piece.

Keep at it dude - and for the love of all things artsy PLEASE keep posting pix, your skills are getting better by the day - that's for dang sure!

Thanks Bewber, and I will post everytime I do something. My next attempt is going to be human eye's. Maybe the end of the week for those.

I have some time off this week and I really need to start practicing again since I'd like to paint a few Christmas gifts this year. We should try to paint the same eyes - like from google images or something - just to see how differently they'd come out.

Not a race or anything like that - and certainly not a competition. Just purely for the fun of seeing how differently they'd turn out.

Maybe not necessarily eyes either. I could try a tiger. Whatever. It was just a thought.

Jarrod it's Grrrreat!

Is the mail box for the the lady from rhyga?

Bewb,.... pick a picture and just post it here, and I will do whatever you pick.
